JILL Duggar has thrown shade at her newlywed brother Justin, 18, as she says “don’t rush” in a cryptic quote after the teen was slammed by fans for marrying “too young.”
The reality star’s brother got hitched to wife Claire Spivey in Texas in February after they began “courting” in September last year.
Despite Jill, 29, congratulating her younger sibling on his nuptials the mom-of-two shared a message on her Instagram Stories about not rushing things.
It read: “Don’t try to rush things that need time to grow.” She finished it with a sign saying “this” and pointing to it.
Justin and Claire, a family friend, delighted the Duggars when they first revealed their “courtship” on Counting On in September before getting engaged two months later.
Many fans were left shocked by the wedding announcement and expressed their thoughts underneath the photo.
One follower wrote: “Yikes…Grow up before getting married!”
Other added: “So young.”
Another scoffed: “They look 12 lmfao.”
Others commented: “Please have a long courtship. You are both too young.”
Justin and Claire will be living in a mobile home his dad Jim Bob sold to him for only $1 on December 8, 2020, The Sun exclusively revealed.
Jim Bob, 55, bought the Springdale, Arkansas home on May 18, 2020 for $35,500.
The abode, which real estate sites estimate at $178,100, seems like the perfect starter home and boasts three bedrooms, two bathrooms and sits on a 4.01 acre lot.
Getting engaged and married young is not uncommon in the Duggar family, who follow strict Christian beliefs and forbid sex before marriage.
Jill and her husband Derrick, 32, walked away from the family after they claimed Jim Bob, 54, withheld compensation from their appearances on the family’s reality show, Counting On.
The couple also disagreed with many of the patriarch’s strict rules and beliefs, which includes the way that people – women in particular – should behave.
At the time Derrick said of his father-in-law’s rules: “I don’t think it’s wrong for girls to wear pants, get piercings, or have short hair. I will encourage my kids, girls or boys, to identify their passions and pursue them, even if that requires higher education.”
